How can I download the Bell Wi-fi app to my PC?

[Wow2]

It's too difficult for me to read the small print on my mobile phone, so whenever possible I download apps to my PC instead.  Can I do this with the Bell Wi-fi app?  If not, is there an alternate way to access the information provided by this app?

Good Day.

The Bell Wi-Fi app lets you control, manage and monitor your home Wi-Fi network from anywhere at any time. The Bell Wi-Fi app is available for all customers with Bell's Home Hub 2000, Home Hub 3000, Home Hub 4000 or Giga Hub modems.

When using a computer, there is no direct replacement pers se for the Wi-Fi app. The Bell Wi-Fi app is not a supported app that is available on a computer.

You can view your full account details & make changes on a computer by logging in to your MyBell account with a web browser.

To view all of your connected devices and their usage from within a computer, you will need to login to you Bell modem. From there, you will be able to:

• Manage your Wi-Fi network name and password
• Share your Wi-Fi network with guests
• See all the devices connected to your network & their usage.
• Run a Speed Test
• Etc.

There is another alternative, BlueStacks, that is available for purchase on the Google Play Store. It is not supported by Bell. BlueStacks receives mixed reviews for Windows 10 & 11; while it's generally considered a safe and high-performing Android emulator, many users report issues with crashes, performance drops, and forced updates and app restrictions. I have included the BlueStacks weblink below for your review:

Download and run Bell Wi-Fi on PC & Mac (Emulator)

Please have a look at the following:

• Accessing Bell Home Hub
• My services - Bell.ca

Speaking from experience, when in doubt, I shy away from any product that does not guarantee my security & privacy.

Thank you for posting your question.

Take care.

Thank you for your question. You may find the WiFi app installed on a tablet (iPad or Android) to be a potential solution for you.
